And the boys couldn't be more excited!!. As you have noticed by my previous posts about the MN weather, we have had a crappy time of it this winter. We had another major winter storm this past weekend. It was so bad that I couldn't even get into work. Okay, so I guess I probably could have at least tried but I just stayed home & worked on my laptop. Anyway, Luke & Kurt are so happy to have spring...today was in the 60s! WOOHOO! Ben & the boys played outside all day today. Luke rode his 4-wheeler, Kurt rode his trike, & Ben watched. They have needed this nice weather so badly. Both of them have had cabin fever since January...let me tell you...they have been CRABBY! I noticed a big change in both of them today...especially Kurt. He was so happy. We are all really looking forward to this spring/summer. This year Kurt can walk so he can do so many more things. We are planning on putting on our deck & then putting a huge sandbox under the deck for the boys. We also have a couple trips in the works, which will be so fun for us all.
On another note...today we took Kurt to see his allergist, Dr. Helm. Kurt has had really bad eczema since he was around 6 months old. We first took Kurt to Dr. Helm over 1 year ago & found that he had a little bit of an egg allergy. So for the past year we have been keeping Kurt away from eggs, putting tons & tons of lotions on him, & watching him scratch his poor little hands, legs, & ankles. Today Dr. Helm told us he had a couple more things for us to try on Kurt & that we just have to keep doing what we are doing with him. He didn't think that the eggs were the cause of his eczema, it is just that he has really sensitive skin. I am so proud of my little guy. Let me tell you, he has been a champ through all of this. You wouldn't know that he itches all the time, he is so mellow about it. It is only when you see him scratch until he bleeds, that you know that he is hurting. It makes me so sad that he has this, but also makes me thankful that he only has this...it could be much worse.
I'm going to have to download some pictures for next time.
